Johnny Headband
The brothers Thompson (from here on out: Chad & Keith) came up with the concept for Johnny Headband in the cold-water flat they shared right after being freshly spat out of college.

The duo began to transform their living space into a makeshift performance venue that included both musical & visual elements.
